Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Nurse - help dating and identifying uniform
« on: Wednesday 07 August 13 11:28 BST (UK)  »
Hi. We are trying to work out which family member this is. We would like to know if it's possible to work out the date, and if anything can be identified from the nurses uniform she is wearing.

Many thanks, Ann

I have sent an email to the local studies unit, I did ask for some other details as well, so don't know how long it will be for a reply. Hopefully the information will be there. But thank you for your help, it's much appreciated.

Thank you for that information Chris, I didn't realise they would have street directories for the  1850/60s. I will send them an email and see what comes up.

Yes, I think you may be right. (They ended up with 11 children....)  :) Thank you for that link, it's very helpful.

Looks like I'm not going to be able to find out what they were up to in 1861, which is unfortunate, but thanks for all the help.

Hi Milliepede, thanks for having a look. I was beginning to think it was just me, and that they would pop up somewhere.

Their next child was Emma Louis Darvill, born May 1862, same address as before.

I was hoping they were possibly mistranscribed or something but nothing's coming up.

Surrey / Darvill - 1861 Croydon census.
« on: Tuesday 23 April 13 15:31 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to locate my great x 3 grandfather Henry Darvill and his family in the 1861 census, but with no luck. I know he would have been living in Cherry Orchard Road, Croydon at that time as his son Alfred was born at that address two months before the 1861 census. (and the next child was born there too so am assuming there would be at that location.)


Henry Darvill - born 1821 - occupation: rail labourer/ general labourer
Eliza Darvill - born 1828 Croydon
Martin James Darvill - born 1849, Wolverhampton
Mary Ann Darvill - born 1850, Hastings, Sussex
William Henry Darvill - born 1851 Hastings, Sussex
Caroline Darvill - born 1853, Croydon
Amy Darvill - born 1855, Croydon
Elizabeth Darvill - born 1856, Croydon
Sarah Darvill - born 1858, Croydon
Alfred Darvill - born Feb 1861, Croydon.

I don't know whether the records for that area are actually missing or I just haven't been able to find them, but any help would be appreciated.

Ah, thank you both for the replies. That would put her in her 20s when the picture was taken.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Help dating photo from Croydon.

Would like help with dating this photo. We believe it is my grandmother's aunt who was alive from 1862 - 1918. I did find the photographer Edward Ayling in the 1891 Census living at 11 Derby Road, Croydon, but don't know how long he was trading, and if photo would be before that date ot more 1900s. Photo size 2.5" x 4".

Yes, I was beginning to think his parents may not have married, but it could be any one of the other explanations too couldn't it. I was hoping his birth was just hiding from me, but it's never that easy is it. Ah well, I shall change tack for now and see if I can find out anymore about his mother and concentrate on finding her maiden name if possible.

Thanks again  :)
